Here's an appetizer that packs a protein punch that will keep you full until dinner. A couple of these along with some salad would also nicely serve as dinner itself. I almost always have a few different kinds of canned beans on hand. There's somuchyoucando with them!

Method:Pulse the ingredients together a couple of times to form a coarse mixture that’s still chunky. If it becomes too sticky, add some more flour and bread crumbs.

Portion out 10-12 small balls of the mixture. Flatten each ball as much as possible on the palm of your hand without causing the tikkis to crumble. A thicker one takes longer to cook and gives you a tikki that is cooked well on the outside but is not completely done on the inside

Coat both sides with the cheese and crumbs mixture.

In a large skillet, using as little oil as possible (2-3 Tbsp), shallow-fry the tikkis. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes on medium heat until golden brown. Serve hot with some tomato ketchup or enjoy it with your favorite chutney. We had these with some mango chutney along with hot cups of tea.

Burps:

The tikkis look crisp & yum, TBC! Protein packed & tasty - nice combi, na? Glad you like my apple gojju, TBC. I must confess, since I've posted it, I've not made it again. So you preparing it more than once totally beats my number! :)

Laavanya- yes, they would be good baked too. I should try it the next time.:)

Priar & Uma- thank you!:D

Rajitha- you're not alone, I can too! I remember not being too pleased about having to share it with H. When it's something I don't like, I am more than happy to. I'm so evil, na? Wait, don't answer that! :D

Divya- Just a little bit of cheese but it was so good! :D

Cookinpanda- sounds good to me! Should try it when I make it next. Or maybe you could let me know?:D

Aparna- thank you.:DFor the longest time I could only think of channa masala or hummus to make with chickpeas.:)

Kevin- thank you.:D

Rashmi- awww! I like cereal too but would go for this over cereal any day.;-)
